| Course contents : | This course deals with the more recent areas of European law, which go beyond the original economic core of internal market law. After some revisions of basic principles of EC law (mainly to familiarise students with English terminiolgy), the focus of the course will be on a rapidly developing area of European Law : judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters. The course will survey the reasons for these developments, the particular institutional framework of this area of European law and the instruments of judicial cooperation which are already in place. This elective course will be of interest for students who want to specialise in European law as well as to those who intend to join the bar. This course is taught in English. |

At the end of the course, students should be able to identify, in simple situations, cases for application of one or saveral instruments. |
